Taika earns largely positive reviews for creamy, zero-sugar canned lattes and matcha that deliver a smooth, jitter-free lift, with macadamia milk, adaptogens (L-theanine, ashwagandha, lion’s mane), and standout flavors like Macadamia Latte, Mocha, and Matcha. Reviews also flag inconsistent texture (clumps/chunkiness), diluted or weak flavor—especially matcha—and occasional bitter or artificial-sweetener aftertaste, making performance and taste variable across cans.

  • Really, really good! Taika has great flavor. I have purchased many different flavors since testing and have yet to be disappointed.

  • I tried the match latte and the oat milk latte. I preferred the matcha over the oat milk latte. It had great flavor and I felt good drinking it due to the great ingredients. It had the perfect balance of sweet without compromising the usual matcha flavor. Make sure you shake the oat milk latte well. I found that I was drinking tiny chunks of the milk which was not ideal but does come with the territory for canned coffee drinks.

  • Was really excited to try it out, but ended up making me sick… I’m giving it three stars because I’m willing to give it another try before I jump to conclusions

  • Attractive label. Smooth and tasted good. Like the flavor varieties.

  • If you like convenience and strong coffee you will like Taika coffee. I got the black coffee so I could customize rest at home meaning what type of milk, sweetener etc

  • I usually have my regular hot coffee with creamer, but I switched it up with this. It was a refreshing treat! I tried the oat milk latte.

  • I really liked the matcha latte w macadamia milk! I wasn’t sure I would, but the flavor is great and the texture is pretty cool. The only -1 star is because they use a proprietary blend of l-theanine, ashwagandha, and lion’s mane. I don’t love that as I would like to know how much of each I’m consuming… Otherwise, super into this drink!

  • Delicious! I swapped my afternoon coffee for a Matcha Latte and felt just as energized, but somehow even better. I really enjoy it!

  • Great creamy flavor. Its shelf stable but it honestly saves me from going from starbucks when I feel like I need a treat. Great ingredients that I dont feel gross afterwards for consuming. Price is little high but nice treat

  • Great mocha latte. Usually go for the less sweet ones but this one wasn’t too sweet

  • I really like the mild flavor of the Taika Black Coffee flavor with Adaptogens. It is really easy to drink and has such a nice mild coffee flavor that isn't really strong at all. It's only 10 calories per can as well, so I like that and the fact that there is no sugar in it since it's unsweetened.

  • Enjoyed trying Taika, something new for me! I did not enjoy the monk fruit sweetener which I feel is immediately noticeable, and the macadamia nut milk. The plant milk sub makes the whole drink taste a bit chalky. Wish I did enjoy this but I just love my regular coffee with real milk and sugar too much.

  • The Macadamia Latte from Taika is like an upgraded, more wellness oriented version of the La Colombe canned coffees. You can’t taste any of the adaptogens, and it’s sugar free which is very rare in canned coffees. You can’t taste the sweetener either because there’s not stevia. I believe that Taika put a lot of thought into their ingredients: no cellulose gum, no phosphates, MCT oil. It really all contributes to a great product.

  • I got the mocha latte and it was absolutely delicious! Great mocha flavor and it’s my new favorite on the go drink!

  • Smoot texture, but left a bit of a aftertaste.

  • The matcha oat milk latte was absolutely delicious! The matcha taste is light and good, bonus for dairy free. I can't personally tell a different from the adaptogens, but for a shot of caffeine, this is a perfect drink.

  • I am a matcha fan and the Taike matcha latte didn't disappoint! It has clean ingredients and the tase is very balanced and smooth. Such a convenient way to enjoy a treat on the go!

  • Didn't really feel much of a difference than regular coffee which is good I guess. Not the best tasting though. Would highly recommend if it's slightly cheaper

    Verified purchase

  • I liked the flavor, but I guess I was supposed to shake the can before opening? It started off smooth but the second half was very clumpy.

    Verified purchase

  • I try the Matcha latte flavor and definitely not the best. It tasted a little bit like dirt, and I am someone that likes Matcha lattes. I think I need some more sweetener of some sort, and that would help a lot.
